After the battle with Loken, the Decapitation Squad had been recuperating deep in the mountains of Icecrown Glacier.
Everyone except Medivh had recovered from their injuries. He alone remained in a prolonged state of mana deprivation.
Guardians were no ordinary mortal beings. Once the vast energy within them erupted, the resulting storm rivaled the blast unleashed by an exploding void singularity.
An explosion of that magnitude could, frankly, destabilize space itself.
